profiling

Due to some divine inspiration (a chinese zodiac), i've decided to do a personal profile. If it sounds like I'm bragging or whatever, just dont pay attention. This is my turn to gloat xD

Overall, I'm a nice guy. I'm easy to get along with because I dont like disagreeing with people. I guess you could just say I'm timid because I dont like to arouse disagreements, but I prefer to say that I'm trying to be "agreeable". Nevertheless, I'll be the first one to spit something incredibly stupid back into your face. In a world of followers, sometimes we need someone to lead the crowd. If a group of people is leaderless long enough (meaning nobody WANTS the job), I'll be glad to take initiative. But then, I'm modest. Too modest. I dont like drawing attention to myself unless I'm certain its positive attention. I certainly dont like hurting other's aspirations. I like to make sure that everybody else gets what they want before I decide what I want. A fault of myn, I guess. Then, I'm not perfect either. I'm definitely not selfless. I do most of the generous things I do simply because I wish to gain recognition and popularity. After all, with lots of friends comes a good amount of power and ability.

Sympathy is a big problem for me. I'm sympathetic to almost everything I see. The hobo on the corner, the crying girl at the table, and the guy walking alone in the middle of the quad. All of these people I dont know, but I feel pain for them nonetheless. Often my sympathy is taken to far. For example, the girl crying the corner just could be crying for joy for all I know, but I'll assume she cries because she lost a boyfriend and hurt nonetheless.

But then, I enjoy suffering. I consider myself optimistic the majority of the time. That is, I see a bright future through all of the clouds that descend upon me. The only reason I am happy and optimistic is because I realize pain. I realize its out there, so I know how to avoid it.

I wouldnt describe myself as much compassionate as I would passionate, though. I dont necessarily feel for other people; rather, I feel for myself. I dont know if thats understandable, but its what I do. A better way of putting it is that I feel for the sake of feeling. My passion never shows though, because I'm shy like that. I just dont have the ability to convey my feelings like other people do. I think that given the chance though, I could show my emotions through actions.

In that sense, I'm not articulate. My parents always tell me I'm a good writer and whatever; but I'm not. I'm a good bullshitter. The things I think of, the things I feel can NEVER be put into words. My mind is complex, and that's completely understandable, because I'm always, constantly, consistently thinking. It's a hobby to me. I think everything through no matter how small or big. I plan without papers, forget my plans and plan again. Like I said, a hobby.

One other thing: I'm symbolic. Symbolic to the extreme. I take nothing literally, and I analyze the unanalyzable. I try to figure out what it means if a person starts walking on their left foot rather than their right foot. It's stupid I know, but its just a game I play with myself I guess. I nice little mind game.

Speaking of which, one of the more embarrassing habits I have is talking to myself. I only do it when I'm alone, but I find it quite fun to hear my own voice converse with itself. Often talking to myself makes me smile. Hah, I laugh at my own jokes SO many times its not funny. The jokes arnt even funny. Its just the absurdity of the fact that I'm telling myself jokes. But like I said, it's something noone will ever see, because I do it when people arnt around. Its my way of keeping myself social and happy.

xD that went well.

I guess by the looks of it, I'm just your typical "studious" high school student trying to get decent grades and fight his way through the tides of popularity. I'm not normal, though. A mixture of romanticism, horniness, girl-shyness, and optimism is a volatile blend waiting to erupt at every moment. Indeed my mood swings all too often, but I only really make those mood swings evident in this journal. I write everything here. Enjoy.

KiH is my creedo, my definition, the way I lead my life. I realize that in life I dont want friends or money or sex, I want to be happy. Everything I own, everything I say, and everything I do serves as a step towards this boundless goal. I devote this journal to my everyday thoughts and activities and I hope that all my readers come away understanding me as a person just a bit more. If I could accomplish something so extreme as having someone understand me, I would be happy forever. -- Click to clear.
